It’s going strong still, so I’m excited for the last book.
I found out some new things about some characters *cough, cough* that I won’t spoil, but it’s very shady. That’s all I’m gonna say.
Despite it being quite good, there was this long bit in the middle that bored me, so I put down the book and didn’t pick it up before a month later

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

This is where this series finally gets interesting. The first three volumes were a slog. Why did I keep reading? I’m not sure. But we get some actual plot developments, and new and unexpected storylines springing up. Characters are doing things, talking to each other, action is taking place. whoa like a real story. Again only 4 volumes to make that happen. I’d say just start with this one and read a wiki or spark notes for the first 3 volumes.

Again, not a fan of the big eyes but I'm pretty hooked on the story at this point. Want to know more of what's going on with Myrtle, especially. Would prefer to see the focus on someone other than Cleo - she's not all that interesting to me anymore.

This one was good, but probably not as good as the previous one.
I adored the idea of the convention, but I kinda feel like it was way too short! I wanted to see more costumes and more shenanigans there. ;)
This is the book that turned me against Myrtle though. I mean, she was troubled from the start, but here... it seems to be growing. I think it was the fact that she didn't want Cleo to even talk to Zia on the phone for fear of losing her friendship. It's just so unstable and needy (not to mention the gross flesh tearing fantasies).
The Penny storyline is getting rather intense now that everyone involved knows what's going on. I'm really interested to see what happens there.
I also like the budding friendship between Natalie and Mara. Oh! And I like the improving relationship between Cleo and Mara! Who knows what might happen next!
